Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 1997 Forest animals Jørgen Nielsen

Bing & Grøndahl Christmas plate 1997 with the motif Forest animals captures a quiet and expectant moment on Christmas Eve. Jørgen Nielsen has created an atmospheric scene, where two children stand by the window and look out into the winter landscape, while a decorated Christmas tree with real candles fills the room with warmth and tradition. The contrast between the safe home and the nature outside gives this edition a special story that suits the calm and reflection of Christmas beautifully.

The title Forest animals comes to life in the motif through the animals seen outside the window in the snow. They stand as calm figures in the cold winter landscape, while the children follow them with curiosity and quiet joy. It is precisely the interplay between the Christmas coziness of the home and the presence of nature that makes this Christmas plate from 1997 so lovely. In the relief at the bottom of the plate, the text JUL AFTEN 1997 can also be seen, which emphasizes the edition's classic Bing & Grøndahl expression.

This edition is part of the tradition-rich series, which began in 1895 as the world's first Christmas plate series. Since 1895, a new plate has been released every year, and this has made Bing & Grøndahl's Christmas plates a beloved collecting area for many. Each edition was produced in a limited number, and after the year's final firing, the mold was destroyed. Therefore, each plate stands as a completed edition with its own story and its own motif.

The Christmas plate from 1997 is not only obvious as a collector's item, but can also be put to use. From 1905 onwards, these plates are suitable for food, and this size makes it ideal as a cake plate or for a small dessert at Christmas time. At the same time, it is beautiful as wall hanging, where the blue shades and the poetic winter motif add a classic Danish Christmas atmosphere to the home.

Older quality design like this is also a fine way to choose thoughtfully. When a Christmas plate with history is given a place in the home year after year, both the craftsmanship, the tradition, and the joy of things that are made to last are carried forward.
